Review: I bought this book for myself - because I had already bought and read The Boy in Striped Pyjamas and I sometimes think wartime stories can be more powerful if they are directed at children. Well I read this in one hit and I was charmed by it. Having studied the war and the Holocaust for probably nigh on 40 years now, I was aware of Denmark's careful handling of its Jews and I have to say they deserve great credit for their endeavour to prevent meekly handing over people of their own, who just happened to be Jewish. The depictions of the Nazi soldiers chimed perfectly with elderly Dutch people I know who were children at that time - I wish I knew why occupying soldiers felt the need to always be so nasty - but the firm need not to ask questions, because if you happen to be being bullied then ignorance is bliss, was an extremely mindful piece of advice. Thank you, Wendy Lower, for a beautiful book, a book of kindness and great honesty at a time when friends were a much needed and very blessed commodity.

Review: The title isn't much help in defining the story. I bought this on spec, for my 14 years old granddaughter, who has a Danish mother. I though as it was set I Denmark they both would be interested. As yet neither have read it, but I have and thoroughly enjoyed it, as it tells the story of the 1939-1945 war years and how a Jewish family were saved from the occupying Nazis. A gentle introduction to the regime of racial purity.
